top posting vs bottomposting vs quoting - punctuation aside

Chris,
after that can you address the problem of not using capitals at all; i hate that. On one group I inhabit (not this one!) there are a few members who not only fail to capitalise properly but also dispense with any recognisable punctuation.

Tim, your point made to Chris is well founded.

Any such non-punctuated messages such as the one as you included post could simply be rejected along with a message to the member indicating that the post was inappropriate for the reason that it was difficult to read. (If the member is not going to use capitals they should/must at least use spacing between words and punctuation to make their texts readable.)

An elaborated explanation for the above should be placed in the Guidelines for your group which advises that such posts will be rejected. This should eliminate the problem or at least vastly curtail it.

I have found that encrypting the message with an unknown key really improves legibility.

But you knew that.

Best,
